The transfer mill is buzzing as Manchester United<\/b> reportedly identifies Aston Villa standout Morgan Rogers<\/b> as their \u201cfirst choice<\/b>\u201d target for the upcoming summer window. According to a report by Jason Burt of The Telegraph, the Reds are prepared to enter a high-stakes bidding war for the 23-year-old England international, who has become one of the Premier League\u2019s most coveted assets.<\/p>\nA Record-Breaking Valuation<\/h3>\n
Aston Villa has reportedly set a staggering benchmark for Rogers, fueled by Liverpool\u2019s recent \u00a3100 million <\/b>acquisition of Florian Wirtz. Insiders suggest that Villa is demanding a fee in excess of \u00a380 million<\/b>, which could soar to \u00a3100 million when add-ons are included. While Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the INEOS team are leading the charge, United faces stiff competition from Arsenal, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Rogers has enjoyed a stellar 2025\/26 campaign, recording 12 goals and 9 assists across 50 appearances<\/b> in all competitions. His versatility capable of playing as an attacking midfielder or on the left wing\u2014fits perfectly into United\u2019s tactical overhaul. Recent performance data from May 2026 shows he maintains high influence, even in tough fixtures against Tottenham and Nottingham Forest. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As United pushes for Champions League qualification, securing a \u201cproven winner<\/b>\u201d profile like Rogers is essential for their long-term project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The transfer mill is buzzing as Manchester United reportedly identifies Aston Villa standout Morgan Rogers as their \u201cfirst choice\u201d target\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":502,"featured_media":51274,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4660],"tags":[249,4460,4057],"class_list":["post-51273","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-transfer-news","tag-manchester-united","tag-morgan-rogers","tag-top-stories"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51273","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/502"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51273"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51273\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51275,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51273\/revisions\/51275"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51274"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51273"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51273"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51273"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Why Rogers is the Top Priority<\/h3>\n
